Here at H&H we also provide massage cupping to our patients. In massage cupping, we use suction to tug skin, tissues and muscles.
Our certified therapist uses suction by placing cups on different points of the body to gently lift the skin, tissues and muscle inside to promote the flow of blood to the muscles and tissues and supplies nutrients to the cells. The movements of the cups are depended on the area being treated. Area of shoulders, thighs and hips are treated with circular motion while areas on the back are treated by long gliding strokes of the cups. Each of the movements has a healing effect of its own.
This therapy loosens any adhesions of knots and softens the tightened muscles. It also opens blockages in the lymphatic nodes by lifting the connecting tissues. This action allows the flow of lymph and releases excess fluids. Moreover due to this process information is drawn from the deep tissues to the surface of the skin so they can heal.
